Student Poetry

Some of our very own students here at Cal Prep are very talented poets that deserve some recognition, here are a few of their beautifully moving poetry.

chlorophyll

(pronounced KLOR-a-fill)

brown, golden bronze,

golden yellow, purple-red,

light tan, crimson,

and orange-red

attached to a stem,

the main organs of photosynthesis and transcription,

a flattened structure,

at least thats what google tells me.

the smallest leaf is the size

of a rice grain

the largest the size of a man

many people disregard

the uses of leaves

a caterpillar sanctuary,

an aphid’s favorite meal,

a camouflage

for luna moths

some shade for a ladybug

maybe even a resting place

for bees whom pollinate

they flow in the wind

filling our sky and our floors

i would like to reincarnate

perhaps the leaf of a peach tree

just because

peaches are my favorite fruit

Bright and beautiful

Shining down on him,

Is he aware she, still, is there?

admired by everyone, she fell

in love with

the wrong one.

She fancies him and visits him every night

Is he aware

She visits when he sleeps serenely,

she casts a spell to keep him with her forever

He will be young forever

and sleep forever

under the pale moonlight
